The Celtics shored up the backend of their roster ahead of Sunday’s regular-season finale and ahead of the NBA playoffs on Saturday.
Guard JD Davison had his contract converted from a two-way deal to a two-year NBA contract, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported. While the exact value of the contract wasn’t reported, the Celtics can only sign free agents to the veteran’s minimum.
While Boston previously had Davison on a two-way deal, the elevation will allow him to play in the postseason. Players on two-way contracts aren’t eligible for postseason play.
Davison’s promotion also fills out the 15th and final spot on the Celtics’ roster.
